Vol. V, No. 5 Adar II-Nissan, 5730 March-April, 1970 From the Rabbi's Desk... Purim is one of the most women-centered festi¬ vals in the Jewish calendar. Since the entire mir¬ acle was wrought through the good offices of Queen Esther, not only does the Megillah bear her name but also the Halacha dictates that women fully participate in the occasion by their obligation to hear the Megillah reading during the night and morning of the holiday. It is therefore apropos to take this opportunity to discuss our Bat Torah program, which is one of the most exciting and successful innovations of LSS this year. Despite all of the blatant faults of the "American Way of Bar-Mitzvahing"—from the vulgarity of the chopped in the form of a Bar Mitzvah boy to the hypocrisy of a treif Bar Mitzvah affair— the institution has nevertheless served to foster

religious education for boys. It is largely as a result of the Bar Mitzvah syndrom that so many youngsters from only marginally affiliated families receive the opportunity of Jewish education, and a proper Hebrew School with dedicated faculty and creative curriculum (alas, all too few in number) can at least attempt to inculcate the feeling of rootedness in Jewish tradition for which so many of our youth yearn. For this reason we include Sabbath home hospitality as part of our Hebrew School program, and attempt to have the b'nei- mitzvah lead in the prayers in addition to (or even in the place of) the traditional haftorah. Our main thrust is to make the student feel totally at in home the Synagogue as well as to inspire him with the relevance of our faith to contem- life. Our success can best be measured by Page Two LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE

After a period of delay and disappointment we are once again well on the way towards the completion of our building.

A series of labor and shipping problems overseas set us back in the deliveries of the marble facing, and this affected other trades as well.

All is now resolved, and we can look forward to continued progress in our con¬ struction.

The unique design of this edifice does not permit either change or substitution in plans or materials and requires, when delays occur, a halt and wait in almost every department.

Fortunately it was possible for us to continue the completion of all electrical and duct work, the elevator and most other equipments which compensated for the delay in our outside work.

The finishing trades will shortly start work in the final stages of construction and will permit our occupancy well before the High Holidays.

We submit this progress report in order that our congregants be able not only to shape their own plans for forthcoming simchot through a realistic timetable, but also to realize our need for financial support at this crucial time.

Our Syna.gogue has continued its progress on a full time basis in each and every activity. We have a growing membership and a growing student body in our Hebrew School and our adult classes as well. Our Services are filled to overflowing, and we honestly can lay claim to be one of the most vigorous religious centers in this City.

Each one of us has a great role to play, and the opportunities are growing each day for stronger participation on the part of everyone.

Sisterhood Scannings Another memorable evening in the annals of the Sisterhood of L.S.S. January 31, 1970, the Gala Cocktail Party for the members and friends of the Sisterhood, was a delightful event. The spirit and gaiety of the affair was greatly enhanced by the abundance of delicious hors d'oeuvres, drinks and goodies served throughout the evening. The Occasion: The drawing of the "Winner of the Two Weeks in Israel for Two." Preliminary to the final drawing, several lucky numbers were drawn for lovely gifts from our Treasury Chest. The final drawing of the lucky award went to Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Druckman. Unfortunately they could not attend the party because of the illness of Mrs. Druckman. We trust she has fully recovered by this time and that before long they will be off on their exciting trip to Eretz Yisroel.

We are proud to announce that this venture was a phenomenal financial success, due to the conscientious and untiring efforts of our dedicated and dynamic chairman, Mrs. Sylvia Greenberg. Kudos to Sylvia for a job well done!

(Continued on Page 8) Page Four LINCOLN SQUARE SYNAGOGUE Purim Law and Lore

1. Purim Seudah — A glorious repast in honor of the holiday. It is incumbent upon every Jew to eat, drink and make merry in celebration of Purim. The feast should begin during the day, Sunday, March 22, and extend into the night. Wine (and even a little schnapps) must be an integral element of the meal, and our Sages have taught: One may drink on Purim until he can no longer distinguish between the blessing of Mordecai and the curse of Haman." (Maimonides interprets this to mean that one should merely drink and fall asleep, for sleep makes intelligent distinction impossible).

2. — The sending of portions. Each person must send at least two gifts (two types of food ready to be eaten) to his neighbor. The custom is to send gifts through a messenger.

3. Matanot L'Evyonim — Gifts to the Poor. Every Jew, even if he be among the poorest in Israel, must give at least two gifts to the poor people (one gift to each indigent).

4. Kriyat Ha Megillah — Public Reading of the Scroll of Esther. The Megillah should be read on the eve and morning of Purim. It is customary for the children to drown out the name of Haman by sounding their "greggers" (noisemakers) whenever his name is read from the Scroll. 5. Special Sabbaths: There are four different Sabbaths during the year on which a special is read:

Shabbat Shekalim — the Sabbath before Rosh Chodesh Adar is so designated, because during Temple times each Jew was called upon to give one half shekel as a poll tax on the first day of Adar. As a reminder of this duty, the passage from Exodus 30 is read as the Maftir.

Shabbat Za Khor — the Sabbath before Purim derives this name from the

Maftir read on this day which begins with the word Za Khor — "Remember Amalek." According to Jewish tradition, Haman was an Amalekite.

Shabbat Parah — On the Sabbath before the season of Nissan (the month of Passover) the laws concerning the proper steps to become ritually clean are read, so that each Jew would be enabled to partake of the Passover sacrifice. The red heifer, or Parah Adumah, was a necessary aspect of the ritual.

Shabbat Hachodesh — On the Sabbath closest to Rosh Chodesh Nissan we read "Hachodesh Hazeh" to remind the people of the coming Pesach.

RABBI AND MRS. STEVEN RISKIN invite the young adults to a PURIM SEUDAH SUNDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 22, at 1 P.M. in the Room. Community Seder Please remember to reserve the second Seder Night, Tuesday, April 21, at 7:15 P.M. promptly in the Hotel Esplanade, for the Lincoln Square Syna¬ gogue Community Seder. Wolf Reichard is diligently preparing an inspiring event which should not be missed. Our Rabbi and Cantor will officiate, and the traditional melodies complete with English explanations and readings should make this a most edifying experience. The children of the Hebrew School are busily preparing Passover songs, and each individual table will have ample opportunity to participate. This year reservations will only be made through the L.S.S. office, so that everyone will be seated with maximum comfort during the Seder. Send in your reservations as quickly as possible so that adequate arrange¬ ments can be made by our committee. Wives and Mothers: This is your opportunity to 'sit and be served for at least one Seder night. There's nothing wrong with being a "back-seat baalabusta" once a year!

The Hidden holiday One of the greatest difficulties in the life of one who desires to be a religious person is the obvious but important fact that he can not see the God to whom he prays and from whom he derives his plan for life. The man who desires to walk in God's ways often has trouble even discerning the hand of God in history, or in contemporary society. For this man, and he represents so many of us, the wonderful holiday of Purim has a message. The overreaching theme of the Megillah, the story of Purim, is that of hester panim, or the phenomenon of the hidden face of God. The name of God is not mentioned at all in the Megillah, and the text even makes extra effort to avoid this mention. Our observance of Purim, is replete with symbols of the hiddenness of God—the Purim mask, which hides the face, the Purim play which hides the actors, even the drinking to a bit of excess, which confounds for the difference be¬ tween wicked Haman and beloved Mordechai. Yet the Purim story is one with perfect poetic justice—a full pendulum swaying from blackness and despair to salvation, light, and joy. Though God's identity is hidden, it could not be more plain that it is His Divine Plan which causes the complete turnabout, and it is to Him that our joy must be directed. The message of Purim is that, though the perception of God's footprints in history and his intervention in modern events may be elusive, it is the task of the true seeker of God to discern His participation in the world. Purim tells us that the first step toward salvation and redemption is the recognition of the Hand of God in the World. Let us inaugurate this season of Purim by taking this step. Eddie A bramson

LINCOLN SQUARE ACADEMY 165 West 66th Street New York, N.Y. 10023 Dear Parents: At the PTA meeting of November 13, 1969 a parent commented on the recent tragic loss of one of our fathers, JACK LAMPERT, who was shot to death in the hold-up of his store. The daughter, Suzanne, may not be able to finish her schooling this year and will certainly not be able to return to LSA next year. She is in the 9th grade, with only three years remaining before graduation. Mr. Wagner commented at the meeting that it would be most appropriate for the parents to come to the aid of Suzanne Lampert, "She is one of ours," he said, "and what are we going to do about it?" The school has absolutely no scholarship monies available. It will be up to us to see that Suzanne finishes this year and to try to make it possible for her to continue until graduation. Please contribute to the Jack Lampert Scholarship Fund. Sincerely yours, signed (Mrs. Harry Goldstein) President, PTA

From the Rabbi's Desk (Cont'd)

the fact that almost all of our Hebrew School graduates continue into our Hebrew High School, and we are already planning a special ceremony for age eighteen or twenty. Undoubtedly, such an opportunity must be afforded the young women as well. After all, a major opinion in the Mishnah insists that "it is incumbent upon a father to teach his daughter Torah," and empirical evidence attests to the truth of the adage: "religiously educate the boy and you educate few; religiously educate the girl and you educate a family." And halachically, just as the young man must begin to assume religious responsibilities at age thirteen, the young lady must begin to assume religious responsibilities at age twelve. If the Bar Mitzvah repre¬ sents a rite of passage for the male, a similar ceremony should represent the rite of passage for the female. Undoubtedly, just as there are fundamental differences between male and female (and vive la difference), so are there differences in their religious obligations and so must there be differences in the manner of ceremonies. A woman is undoubtedly equal in value to her male counterpart (both having been created in the image of God), but is different in function. The male derives his greatest satisfaction and creativity outside of the home; the female will generally derive her greatest satis¬ faction and creativity within the home. The major religious domain of the male is the Synagogue; the major religious domain of the female is the home. This does not mean to exclude the female from the Synagogue or the male from the home. Our Sabbath Services would be a sorry sight indeed without the distaff side, and the male leads in the Kiddush and the grace after meals recited in the home. Nevertheless, the major responsibility for the home Sabbath and Festival experience— as well as for the sanctity of the kitchen through and of the bedroom through mikveh—rest with the woman, and the major responsibility for the institu¬ tions of Synagogue and Yeshiva rests with the man. Because Jewish tradition under¬ stands and respects these differences, it would be mere folly to establish a Bat Torah ceremony which would be a carbon copy of a Bar Mitzvah. It is for these reasons that we have established the late Friday night Oneg Shabbat as the best opportunity for the Bat Torah. The entire format of the Oneg Shabbat—beginning with Shalom Aleichem and concluding with Kiddush—is in essence an extension of the Friday Night Table. It is therefore most fitting that the Bat Torah introduces and leads in the chanting of these hymns and presents an original discourse on an aspect of Jewish life most relevant to her. Due in large measure to the expert teaching of our Hebrew faculty (especially the Director, Cantor Goffin, the principal Hebrew High School teacher, Rabbi Cohen, and the expert and dedicated guidance of Miss Sara Bergman), our first two B'not Torah, Sandra Smith and Claudia Altmann, were an inspiration to behold. May we continue to grow from strength to strength.
